The Kogi State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal, sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday dismissed the petition filed by former Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, to challenge the victory of his
successor, Senator Smart Adeyemi, at the November 2019 by-election.
The rerun, which held in 53 polling units on November 30, 2019, was ordered in the judgment of the Court of Appeal which nullified Melaye’s victory in the main election which earlier held in March 2019. Melaye with his party as co-petitioner had joined INEC, the APC and Adeyemi as the respondents to the petition.
